To Be Known as "Thapists."

There lie an odd suggestion concerning
the proposed disuse Of the word "under-
taker." A reformer proposes that un-
dertakers shall be known as "thspists."
He goes to the Greek for the word, but
does he maliciously mean to turn us In.
to a nation Of lispers? "Thapists" must
have been the word that made Demos
themes stutter before the happy thought
of putting pebbles In his mouth occur
red to him.--Ksnsas City Times.

FARM NOTES.

Leave plenty of potato to your potato
eye If you want strong plants.
To properly keep straw and hay in
stacks, the stacks must be so constructed
as to shed water.
Oats and corn mixed in equal weight
make good ration in fattening, especially
in young sheep.
When the pigs are coughing it indicates
not only damp yards, but also that the
roof of the shelter leaks.
Whenever the wheat fields and pastures
are thrown up by the frost it is best to
run roller over the crop.
Scatter some of the finest, richest and
best manure you have on the piece of
If you havs not secured your garden
seeds, do so at once. The selections
should all be made during the winter
season.
1t has been suggested that farm horses
be sold by weight, in addition to their
qualities, so as to induce farmers to raise
larger and better horses.
In northern climates gardens and or
chards should be screened from the cold
winds by good hedges. The protection
thus afforded is much better than high
walls.
Even two or three feeds of cooked tur-
nips or potatoes each week is better than
to omit such food altogether. 1t is var
iety that promotes health and keeps the
stock in condition.
Carriages and farm wagons might be
made 10 last twice as long If only
few moments were spent each week dur
ing dry weather in tightening up the
bolts that hold the wagon together.
Sudden changes of the weather causes
diseases among fowls much sooner than
long continued cold or warm weather.
Reup very contagious disease. is usual
iy due to dampness.
Give plenty of green food now while
the ground is frozen. Cabbages onions
and steamed chopped hay are very good
for stimulating the fowls. and it win
greatly increase the laying of eggs.
Should spring open early, and the
grass start, do not be tempted to allow
the stock to Craze on in until it is well
under growth. Tramping on young grass
does more damage than grazing it closely.

On Feeding Sheep.
a..;y.,n Ayrri,,,lt,tri.f

After all that most careful scientific
investigators may ascertain for our guild
ance, there is nothing equal in value to
actual xperience-what might be called
the testimony of the sheep. M. Mol,
noted French writer, thinks tine-wooled
sheep reach their best estate Ill the re-
gion of the vine and the mulberry. In
America would substitute for this the
latitude adapted to Indian corn. This Is
to the Western farmer what the turnlp
is to the English shepherd. My exper-
fence for years in feeding sheep on fod-
der (which is better in every way than
fodder corn, except for nursing ewes,)
has given me the highest opinions of its
value for this purpose. The silk-worm-
like cIoseness with which they pick every
shred of the foliage from the canes obvi-
ates the necessity of cutting the stalks,
which Is an operation of dubious profit
ableness with the coarse Western corn.
Besides that, fodder has most adm1ra'
BILE effect on the respiratory and circula-
tory systems. horse may often be cur
ed of a mild case of heaves by the sub
stitution of fodder for hay in his manger.
Thus, by quickening and stimulating the
circulation, fodder is better feed than hay
1OI IECTtdslHR buo "col RloNuS'' ~ 40
more laxtive than timothy or any other
hay, except clover. A perfect ration for
sheep should include at least one daily
feed of bright fodder; it is far preferable
to rye and (bearded) wheat straw, the
boards of which are liable to cause great
irritation to the coasts of the stomach.
One winter | fed flock of 224 young
sheep, mostly yearlings, one and half
bushels of shelled corn and eighteen
bushels of fodder per day. With run
of two or three hours day on an old sod
they wintered remarkably well. The cur
rent local price for fodder is ten cents
shock of forty hills. Planted in rows
three feet ten inches apart, there would
be thirty-three and four-fifths shocks to
tho acre. Four bundles made shock.
The fodder ON an acre is worth S23S.
The flock consumes forty-tive cents per
day. OF corn, at forty cents bushei,
they require sixty cents worth per day.
They are fed, say, four and a half months
(this will allow for the diminished ration
at the beginning and end of the season.
This will make their winters SUPPLY of
fodder cost SGO.75, and their corn SS1;
total, Sl41.S5,. This flock would have re-
quired 800 pounds of hay per day, which,
at so q top, would be worth $3.50.
Against this, the daily ration of fodder
and corn cost $50. The best and most
economical way to employ wheat straw
for sheep is in connection with fodder.

MIX Tests.


Amerca Agrlculturist for March.
The only system suggested which bids
fair to be of practicable application in
creameries, for the frequent or even daily
testing of milk brought in by many pro
ducers, and for the daily testing of the
milk of each COW of herd, if this be de-
sired, is that by means of an oil-test
churn. This apparatus consists of many
glass tubes Of the same size, into each of
which an equal quantity of milk is plac-
ed, filling the tubes half to two-thirds
full. The tubes are set upright for the
cream to then they stand at a tenn
perature Of sixty-ti degrees or over, IN
til incipient souring comes on, when the
cream is supposed to be ripe" or fit for
churning. Then all the tubes, or, as we
may now call them, little churxs, are laid
upon their sides or fastened in frames,
and violently shaken in a machine made
for the purpose, until it is evident that
all the cream has been churned into but
ter. This done, the frames are removed
and. being placed in water heated to
about 140 degrees, the butter nelts to
limpid oil, which upon cooling-the tubes
standing perfectly upright-may be east
ly measured, and will show with consid-
cradle accuracy the relative amount of
butter in the different samples. 1t is
clear that by this process tho milk of
.ne day can be reported upon one or two
days thereafter, and as only very small
quantity of milk is required no loss can
be reckoned from this cause. Only
double or triple set of tubes is needed to
test the milk of every producer every
day. With skill, attained by practice,
even with the rather crude apparatus
which has been used, quito satisfactory
results have been secured. The oil test
churn, now in its infancy, promises to be
an exceedingly valuable aid to breeders
and COW keepers, as we'll as to those who
buy milk and cream, in enabling them to
determine the amount of fat, the most
valuable constituent OF milk, in different
samples.

Improve the Dairy Cows.
Colman' Rural : World.

Colman' Rural World.
1t is estimated that the avarage yield
of butter per COW in Vermont, one of the
best dairy states in the Union, Is 119
pounds per year, while the best farmers
get 800 and some as much as $50 pounds.
The dairymen of that state consider that
a COW giving only 100 pounds of butter
in yeer is not profitable, but that an
extra 100 pounds will be seven -eighths
profit.
If the cows of Vermont only give 1l9
pounds of butter each, per year, how
much can it be expected that our Miss
souri, COWS give? Probably not over sew
enty-five pounds, and while it may be
true that a COW in Vermont will cost more
than one in Missouri, there is no question
but that seventy -five pounds of butter per
wear Weld no profit And if we take into
consideration the lower price of dairy
products here than in the East it is quite
likely our cheaper feed is balanced and
that our cows must yield quite as much
here as in Vermont to be profitable.
There is no reason why cows In Mis-
souri, can not, with good breeding and
handling, be made to yield as much as
those of any state in the Union. There
are dairymen in this state who are max
ing their cows yield good averages: but
these are rare aud hard to find.
We have men com planning that dairy
ing does not pay with butter at the prices
which prevail. No dairying will pay with
COWS yielding but sevepty-tive or eighty
pounds of butter per year, and that poor
ly made But we have a market IN st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph, and IN
hundreds of inland towns for number
one article of butter at good prices. There
is no question about selling all that Will
be made, and the only points to attain
are sufficient quantity per COW and
good quality of product.

Household Words

One of the many forms of evil is a want
OF punctuality, the root Il all evil The
unpunctual man Is apt to think that the
greatest evil he occasions by his special
lntirnity is temporary Inconvenience or
disappointment. But this is not so. If
one of his delays should disturb only the
arrangements of one day of single per
son, he may congratulate himself. Order
Is Heavens first law, and the second, reg
ular routine, is like unto it. If the earth
and the moon were to loiter in their course
everything here would be out of Joint.
What bitter disappointment and what Sc
rlous annoyance and loss may come from
letter a little too late for the post, a bill
paid after the promised time, an appoint
ment not kept, commission deferred!
Note for yourself, and think of these
things. Punctuality Is essential to aRoth-
er virtue, reliableness. Do all that you
promise to do, and all that you are right,
fully required and expected to do, so that
the hearts of all with whom you are in
any way connected may safely trust in
you. Do this when you say you will do
1t, even if it be little thing, without be.
ing deferred by any but insuperable OBJ
Stacles.

Saved by a Dream.


E. R. Hubble aud family, consisting of
himself, wife, and three children, living
at Science Hill, small railroad station
north of Somerset, Ky, retired, one even
ing, and supposing everything secure,
were soon in the arms of the drowsy
Morpheus. During the night the build
ing caught fire from defective tiue and
spread over the house unnoticed and IN
imPeded until the whole building was en-
veloped in flames; but by a providential
interposi.ion of a dream the lives of all
were saved. The Oldest child, girl of
Is, dreamed of a terrible railroad acct
dent near their home. She saw the two
engines come together, then the rebound
throwing the cars from the track, to be
crushed to pieces in their fall; then she
heard the scream of the dying men and
vomec, the cries of the crippled unfortu-
mates, and ali the terrible things incident
TO such q catastrophe. Then the cars
seemed on fire, and she could feel the
heat almost touching her cheeks. Every
incident was so forcibly and indelibly
imprinted in her memory, with all the
attendant horrors, that the little one
awoke to find the dream in part real
ty. The room was ervelop-
ed in smoke and the flames were
darting through the cracks of the doors
and windows. She was fully awake now.
and realized the awful peril. All we're
asleep except herself, unconscious of the
fire which was almost touching them She
avoke her father, and soon all we've ready
to make dash for the open air. Nh
Hubble had to return for one of the little
fellows who had been forgotten in their
hurry to escape. He reached him with
much difficulty, and secured the young
ster. In coming out again his clothes
caught fire, burning him seriously before
the flames could be extingEished.
